INTRODUCTION

The concept of transformational leadership was originally introduced by James MacGregor

Burns in 1979, in his book entitled Leadership, Burns uses the term transforming leadership, which

is transformed is leadership to followers, namely changing the leadership process between leaders

and subordinates helping each other to advance to a higher level based on passion and motivation1.

Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal Volume 27, Special Issue 5, 2021

Furthermore it is said that transformational leadership can be seen when leaders and

followers make each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation. Through the

power of vision and personality, transformational leaders are able to inspire subordinates to change

expectations, perceptions and motivations towards a common goal2.

Transformational leadership according to Lesli & Lioyd is a leadership style that can create

mutually motivating conditions between leaders and followers, so that leaders can change followers

for the better and create a sense of trust from followers to leaders. The factors that influence

transformational leadership according to Lesli are: 1). Charisma, 2). Inspiration from Leaders, 3).

Motivation from the leader, and 4). Intellectual Stimulation3.

According to Bernard, who has extended the original idea, developed this theory of

transformational leadership with an understanding based on the impact of his subordinates instilling

in the trust, respect and admiration of his subordinates. According to Bass himself, there are four

components of transformational leadership, namely: 1) Intellectual-transformational stimulation

challenges the status quo, and encourages subordinate creativity, 2) Individual consideration

involves, offers support and encouragement to subordinates is free to share ideas and the leader

gives direct recognition. From subordinates as a unique contribution. 3) Inspirational motivation

has a vision that is able to articulate to subordinates, and 4) The ideal influence serves as a role

model for subordinates, to have more trust and respect and imitate the leader who is internalized in

ideals, so that transformational leadership can increase motivation, enthusiasm and performance

subordinates through various mechanisms, so as to align subordinates with tasks to improve their

performance kinerja4.

Bass & Riggio see that transformational leadership is more about intrinsic motivation and

positive development from subordinates. Both also view that transformational leadership represents

a more interesting view of leadership than transactional leadership which emphasizes the process of

exchanging social roles. According to Bass & Riggio transformational leadership is more likely to

be applied in today's increasingly complex organizations where followers not only want leaders

who can inspire in helping followers through their environment but also leaders want followers to

have loyalty or not and whether followers show good performance or not5.

Stephen & Timothy state that transformational leadership is a leader who inspires followers

to go beyond eliminating self-interest and who is able to exert a tremendous influence on followers.

The factors are 1). Ideal influence, 2). Inspirational motivation, 3). Intellectual stimulation, 4).

Individual considerations6. Transformational leadership according to Darwis & Gani et al., is

leadership where there is a process of raising each other to a higher level of morality and motivation

based on trust, respect, and pride in the importance of togetherness in achieving common goals. The

influencing factors are: 1) Having a vision, 2) Inspiring, 3) Encouraging, 4) Coaching and 5) Team

building 7.

Jerald Greenberg and Robert A. Baron stated that, transformational leadership is leadership

that uses charisma to change and revitalize the organization. The factors that influence

transformational leadership according to Jerald are: 1). Charisma, 2). Have a strong vision and

mission of the organization, 3). Intellectual stimulation, 4). Individual attention, 5). Inspirational

motivation8. Furthermore, Kreitner & Kinicki assert that transformational leadership changes

subordinates by creating changes in goals, values, beliefs and aspirations9.

1. Transformational leadership is a leadership pattern through three elements, namely charisma,

individual considerations, and intellectual simulation in the Head of the Theological College.

2. Charisma is described as the most important component in the concept of transformational leadership.

There is little that can be used to describe a charismatic leader, which contains feelings of love from

subordinates, even subordinates feel confident and trust each other under a charismatic leader,

subordinates accept their leader as a model they want to emulate, every time the enthusiasm for the

work of subordinates grows., able to make subordinates work harder and longer happily. The

transformational leadership charisma scale describes the degree to which the leader creates

enthusiasm for followers, being able to discern what really matters. Generating a sense of mission

towards the organization, through charisma the leader inspires loyalty and perseverance instills pride

and loyalty and inspires respect.

3. Individual consideration means that under transformational leadership, the generalization of

differences between individuals does not have its place. A transformational leader will pay attention

to individual factors as not to be generalized, because there are differences in interests and self-

development that differ from one another.

4. Intellectual stimulation means that in transformational leadership a leader will carry out intellectual

stimulation. This element of leadership can be seen, among others, in the ability of a leader to create,

interpret and elaborate symbols that appear in life, teach subordinates to think in new ways. In short,

subordinates are conditioned in situations to always ask themselves and compare them with the

assumptions that develop in society, which in turn develops problem-solving abilities freely10

Based on various studies, it can be seen that Olga Epitropica, suggests 6 things, why

transformational leadership is important, for an organization:

1. Significantly improve organizational performance

2. Positively associated with long-term marketing orientation and customer satisfaction

3. Generating a high commitment of its members to the organization.

4. Increase employee confidence in the organization's daily management and behavior

5. Increase job satisfaction through work and leadership

6. Reduce the stress of workers and improve welfare.

Gary presents some of the results of research on transformational leadership. Gary argues

that transformational leadership is leadership that can create an atmosphere so that followers feel

trust, admiration, loyalty and respect for the leader, and they must be motivated to do more than

expect. Good leaders change and motivate followers by: 1) Making followers realize the

importance of the task, 2) Persuading followers to put the interests of the team or organization

above personal interests, 3) Activating the higher needs of followers. The factors that influence it

are as follows: 1) Ideal influence, 2) Individual considerations, 3) Inspirational motivation, d)

Intellectual simulation11

.

Some guidelines for implementing transformational leadership are as follows 12

:

1. Develop a clear and compelling vision

2. Develop a mission to achieve the vision

3. Articulation and promotion of the vision

4. Act with confidence and optimism

5. Express trust in followers

6. Use dramatic and symbolic actions to discover key values

7. Celebrate success

8. Leading by example

9. Creating, modifying or deleting cultural forms

Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal Volume 27, Special Issue 5, 2021

10. Use transitional sayings to help people through change are: 1) charisma, 2) inspiration, 3) intellectual

stimulation, 4) individual consideration 13

.

Sukarso, et al., stated that transformational leadership is leadership that provides

individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation to subordinates or followers.

Characteristics of transformational leadership. Leaders/Chairmen are the highest expectations for

staff and students. The chairman is a person who knows a lot about the duties of his subordinates

and subordinates who determine the rhythm for the school 14

.

Educational institutions are a form of moral organization, which is certainly different from

other forms of organization, especially profit-oriented as an organizational institution; its success is

not only determined by the Chair but also by the lecturers and the process of the institution itself.

Based on the theories above, it can be synthesized that transformational leadership is the

behavior of an individual or a leader who seeks to change, direct, and develop the values that exist

in his organization in order to create good relationships between lecturers in order to realize shared

goals in the future., with the following indicators: a 1) Charismatic, 2) Individualized consideration

3) Ideal influence 4) motivating inspiration, 5) Intellectual stimulation

From the table above, it can be concluded that there is a positive direct influence of

personality on organizational commitment, a positive direct effect of performance on organizational

commitment, and a positive direct influence of personality on performance.

CONCLUSION

Based on the results of hypothesis testing that has been done, it can be concluded that the

personality of the lecturer has a positive and significant direct effect on organizational commitment.

These findings provide evidence that empirically the increase in personality by a lecturer has an

impact on increasing organizational commitment. The quantitative data obtained quantitatively in

the study is strengthened by the data from observations in qualitative research which gives the

direction that personality is closely related to lecturer commitment. Lecturer commitment is

determined by the personality factor possessed by the lecturer himself.

Personality has a very strong role in a lecturer in carrying out his duties. Personality traits

can help a person in the selection process as a lecturer, adjust the field of work, and help someone

in his career development. Patterns of thought and feeling as well as mentality will influence a

lecturer in adjusting to his environment. This is in accordance with the theory put forward by

Greenberg & Robert (2008) which states that personality is a unique and relatively stable pattern of

behavior, thoughts, and emotions, shown by individuals, so the lecturer will be able to carry out

their duties properly and shows his role as a lecturer who is full of loyalty.

Performance has a Positive Direct Effect on Commitment to the Organization

The results of hypothesis testing and the results of the above analysis can be concluded that

lecturer performance has a positive and significant direct effect on Commitment to the

Organization. This finding illustrates empirically that the strong performance possessed by lecturers

will strengthen the commitment of lecturers to their institutions. This obedience will shape the

character of the lecturers who are always part of the institution where they work. The quantitative

data above is reinforced by data from observations of qualitative research which have conclusions

about performance, which is an expression of employee attitudes towards work that reflects a

pleasant or unpleasant experience based on the compatibility between expectations and reality

obtained from their work.

Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal Volume 27, Special Issue 5, 2021

Performance has a very strong role in a lecturer, if someone does a job with the orientation

or purpose of meeting the needs of life and welfare, then when an institution is able to provide a

high salary, so that the level of welfare of the lecturer is very good, then the lecturer should enjoy

performance.

Colquitt et al., (2009) argues that performance is the value of a set of employee behaviors

that contribute positively or negatively to achieving organizational goals. Basically, performance

has three dimensions, namely (a) task behavior, (b) moral behavior, and (c) challenging behavior.

Direct Positive Effect of Lecturer Personality on Lecturer Peak Performance

Based on the results of hypothesis testing and research findings, it shows that the personality

of the lecturer has a positive and significant direct effect on the performance of the lecturer. Thus, it

is expected that lecturers are loyal and provide themselves to work with high enthusiasm in their

work community and have a high sense of trust in the institution where they work. This shows that

personality cannot be ignored in a person. The personality of the lecturer will determine how a

person can work well. This means that in an institution if someone can feel satisfied at work, a

strong self-confidence is needed, so that they can carry out their duties with full responsibility.

Related to this research, the effect of personality on performance is reinforced by the theory

put forward by Robbins and Judge, which states that proactive personality is an attitude that tends

to be opportunistic, initiative, daring to act, and persevering until it achieves significant changes. It

was continued that personality is explaining the factors that determine how a person's individual

treatment of an institution such as theological schools so that the goals and objectives contained in

this vision and mission are achieved properly.

Based on the analysis and discussion of the influence of transformational leadership,

personality, performance on organizational commitment at theological schools in West Java, it can

be concluded as follows:

1. The higher the personality of the lecturer, the higher the results of commitment to the organization, and

vice versa, the lower the personality of the lecturer, the lower the results of commitment to the

organization.

2. The greater the work performance, the stronger the results of the Commitment to the Organization, and

vice versa, the lower the performance, the lower the results of the Commitment to the Organization.

3. Personality has a positive direct effect on performance, meaning that empirically a stable personality will

be able to improve performance.

Thus, if the organizational commitment of lecturers, personality, and performance is

improved properly, it can give an optimal influence and contribution to the progress of theological

schools in West Java.
